Excavate and Compact Soil

What happens here

The initial step involves meticulously digging out the area designated for the patio foundation, removing approximately a foot of soil to reach a stable sub-grade. Once the desired depth is achieved, the exposed soil floor is thoroughly compacted using a heavy-duty compactor. This process is crucial to ensure that the native soil provides a firm and stable base, preventing any future settling of the patio structure. The compaction should be done systematically across the entire excavated area.

Goal: Prepare a stable and level sub-base for the patio foundation.
